James Bell and the Highlighters - boot?

[James Law]

Hi all - new to the forum, hope this is the right place to post.

Can anyone tell me how to spot the (supposed) boot of Amazing Love on Ro-Jam?

Thanks

Jim

Understood that this one , a repress , isn’t a boot & released by James Bell himself . Stand to be correct tho .

Soz for saying boot - meant none original 

[James Law]

Thanks both. I only ask about a Ro Jam boot because my mate has Manship's latest book - the big hardback one - and in there it is listed as a 'repress'. I don't know when (or even if) this repress was done, but I bought the record in about 1985 so if it post-dates that I'm in the clear!

Bought my copy of the man himself many years ago on one of my USA trips. I think he did the 3 diamond ones for his Prestatyn visit.

This coincided with James putting out Message to the World which imho is worth a listen in 20002, it is often overlooked due to the Three Diamonds cut. He is a real talent the flip of amazing love has always been a favourite of mine.

The original of Amazing Love is backed with Popping Poocorn (on Ro-Jam). The re-issue of Amazing Love has Love Of My Girl on the flip (on Three Diamonds). Don't think it was re-issued on Ro-Jam, looks like you have an original! Nice double-sider...

Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated.
